TLDR
Second-harmonic generation was observed in an elastic surface wave propagating in the y direction on the x surface of α-quartz by means of interdigital electrode transducers.
Abstract
Second‐harmonic generation was observed in an elastic surface wave propagating in the y direction on the x surface of α‐quartz The waves were generated and detected by means of interdigital electrode transducers The fundamental frequency was 9 MHz The amplitude of the second‐harmonic signal increased linearly with distance along the crystal surface A nearly perfect square‐law dependence of second‐harmonic power on fundamental power was found The ratio of second‐harmonic to fundamental power was −438 dB at a distance of 22 cm and a fundamental input power of 1 W The results are in quantitative agreement with theory

Temperature Dependence of Surface Acoustic Wave Velocity on α Quartz

TL;DR: In this article, a pulsed rf technique was employed to measure the angular dependence of the temperature coefficient of velocity, surface wave delay lines were constructed in which the waves were excited on the quartz by means of an interdigital electrode structure on a glass substrate which was brought into contact with the quartz.

Nonlinear surface waves on an elastic solid

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of quadratic elastic nonlinearity on the propagation of surface Rayleigh waves on an isotropic elastic solid is examined using the method of multiple scales and an approximate solution is obtained which is uniformly valid in both spatial directions as well as in time.

Dislocation Contribution to the Second Harmonic Generation of Ultrasonic Waves

TL;DR: In this article, the dislocation contribution to the generation of the second harmonic of an ultrasonic wave in solids is measured through the changes, as a function of static bias stress, in the amplitude of a fundamental wave (10 Mc/sec compressional wave) propagating in the specimen.
